Two action-packed months with exciting social activities & tournaments.
Drinks and a healthy serving of competition were on the menu in September and October as the Hong Leong Group Sports & Recreation Club (HLGSRC) organised two fun-filled social activities for staff as well as a series of exciting tournaments.
Coffee Pourover Workshop – 17 September, 1 October
20 staff attended the Coffee Pourover Workshop held at Hook Coffee's very first coffee bar located at Lau Pa Sat, where they learnt how to brew coffee in its purest form with the Hario V60, a tool favoured by professionals and enthusiasts alike. Participants gained new understanding about what makes a good brew and received tips and tricks for brewing coffees of different origins.
Each participant also brought home a bag full of Hook Coffee merchandise to kickstart their brewing adventure after the workshop!

Wine & Cheese Night – 29 October
Tower Club held their annual Wine Buffet on 29 October 2022, and 23 staff and guests had the privilege to dine on Chef Elson’s tempting creations and a selection of cheeses as they enjoyed sampling an estimated 150 or more labels of wine and champagne - the excess bottles from the judges’ tasting session earlier in the day.

Go-Kart – 25 September
The HLGSRC held its first-ever Go-Kart Race on 25 September 2022. After being briefed on the safety rules by the staff of The Karting Arena @ Bukit Timah, 36 staff battled it out on the track in 2 categories – 30km/hr and 50km/hr races. Each participant raced around the track for 8 minutes, with their fastest lap timing logged for the competition. There was an air of excitement and laughter all around as this was an activity not many staff had experienced before.
Safety first! Staff taking part in the race listening attentively to the safety briefing by The Karting Arena staff.
